Release Check
Runs pre-release verification using the Centinela (QA) agent. This is the highest-stakes checklist in the system.
When to Use This Skill
- Before any release to production
- Before tagging a version
- As a final quality gate after all features are implemented and reviewed
What This Skill Does
- Runs the SIGN IN checklist
- TIME OUT 1 — Documentation and Debt Check: verifies CHANGELOG, TECH_DEBT, specs, and docs
- TIME OUT 2 — Testing and Quality Gate: runs all tests, code health scan, quality verification
- TIME OUT 3 — Security and Release Gate: runs security audit, security verification, release readiness
- Writes release assessment to
docs/reviews/release-check-{version}.md - Issues final verdict: READY FOR RELEASE or BLOCKED (with specific reasons)
How to Use
Basic Usage
/release-check v1.2.0
Example
User: /release-check v2.0.0
Output: A release assessment at docs/reviews/release-check-v2.0.0.md with:
- Documentation completeness check
- Test results and quality gate status
- Security audit summary
- Final verdict with specific blocking reasons if any
Tips
- This is the last line of defense before code reaches users
- A blocked release here prevents issues from reaching production
- Three TIME OUT checkpoints cover docs, quality, and security independently
